Sandeepa was then asked what she feels about OTT content getting under the stance of the Information and Broadcasting ministry, the actor said that a particular amount of censorship is necessary as makers often go a little overboard with sexual content and it needs to be curtailed after an extent. Further, she added that as art needs to have freedom and stories might lose their essence if some parts, like strong language, are removed, and that obscene is a part of most people’s choice of expression these days. She stands undecided on this. However, she also said that the ministry should give an A certification to certain content so that adults can take an informed decision.
When asked if she thinks censorship is being done to make sure no political debates take place, the actor said that this is debatable as OTT shows mostly choose to express only their point of view. Dhar added that viewers have the choice of watching what they wish to.
